Mochi

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Mochi came into our care alongside her kittens after being found in a home with over 40 cats. Despite such an overwhelming start to life, she has proven to be a calm and devoted mum, doing her very best for her little ones Her kittens are currently showing signs of cat flu, and although Mochi isn’t showing symptoms herself, she is likely a carrier. Because of this, it’s important that she—and any cats in her future home—stay up to date with their annual vaccinations. We don’t have any history of Mochi living with dogs or children, but she has been around other cats and may be able to live with feline companions. As we’re unsure if she’s had outdoor access before, her new family should be prepared to introduce her to the outdoors safely if she shows interest. Mochi can be a little nervous, so she’ll need a calm, understanding home where she can settle in at her own pace. With patience and kindness, we’re sure she’ll grow in confidence and become a wonderful companion. Mochi will be ready for adoption in early June If you can offer a quiet, loving home and want to give a deserving cat a fresh start, Mochi could be the perfect match. Please share to help her find her forever home

About Mochi

What life with Mochi looks like

Mochi is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mochi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mochi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Thornberry Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mochi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mochi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Thornberry Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mochi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mochi isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Thornberry Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mochi and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
